>>17034592I notice that most students read the textbook and then sweat and struggle with the subject matter. They trust the textbooks, but then MOST of the students don't benefit from it. The textbooks are BULL SHIT. Testing is designed to make sure that you put in your time reading the textbook, which is irrelevant to understanding the subject matter. People don't remember the overwhelming majority of textbook material, because it is a poorly written flow of thought that is on constant non-sequitur tangents that form very bad neuro pathways. The publishers of textbooks exploit the student with copy-right monopolies, and the accredited authors steal their work from undergrads who only get an obscure mention of credit in a long list on some poorly formatted page that no one looks at. The people in charge of the textbook cartel should be publicly humiliated and sentenced to the cruelest punishments. You know I'm right.
>>17034596ok but have you considered that sometimes the guy writing the textbook can be pretty funny and correct
>>17034596how do I write a good textbook
>>17034596>>17034628Pic related is free and written in a coherent way ie sections build on previous sections, chapters build on previous chapters. Unfortunately it lacks the change of variable theorem because the author I think has something against determinants.
